Therapeutic Use:

Indications for OLUX:

Mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.

Adult:

Apply twice daily (AM & PM). Dispense small amount into cap or other cool surface, or directly to lesions. Pick up a small amount of foam and massage into affected areas; repeat until entire affected area is treated. Max 50g/week and 2 consecutive weeks' treatment per course.

Children:

Not recommended.

Contraindications:

Do not use superpotent forms on face, groin, or axillae. Exclude viral disease (eg, chickenpox, measles).

Warnings/Precautions:

Treat infection if present; discontinue if infection persists or worsens. Do not use near eyes, or on diaper dermatitis or pre-existing skin atrophy. Do not use fluorinated steroids longer than 1 week on the face. Avoid abrupt cessation in chronic use. Systemic absorption increased by broken or inflamed skin, prolonged use, application to large surface area, or use of occlusive dressings. Occlude only if necessary; do not occlude higher potency products. Monitor adrenal function in children if a high potency product or occlusion is used, and in adults if more than 50g weekly of a high potency product is used. Discontinue or reduce dose or potency if HPA axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, glucosuria, or irritation occurs. Use lowest effective dose and potency (esp. in children). Use caution if applying to face or body folds. Do not use continuously or for prophylaxis. Foams are flammable. Reevaluate periodically. Pregnancy (Cat.C). Nursing mothers.
